Applicant’s response, filed on March 18, 2005, via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), is incomplete because significant data and/or attachments are missing from the response form transmitted to the USPTO. Specifically, the following data/attachments are missing: Gartner article p. 1-8, XAPPS Brochure 1-8.
To avoid abandonment, applicant must submit a complete response within (1) the time remaining in the six month period for response to the last Office action, or (2) thirty days from the mailing date of this letter, whichever is longer. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(b); TMEP §718.03(b). This does not extend the time for filing a notice of appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03 and 715.03(c).
If applicant files its response via TEAS, applicant should review the resulting e-mail acknowledgement to nsure that all the data entered by applicant in the response appears therein. If any data does not appear in the e-mail acknowledgement, then the Office has not received that data and the response may not be a complete response.
Effective January 31, 2005 and pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, Pub. L. 108-447, the following are the fees that will be charged for filing a trademark application:
(1) $325 per international class if filed electronically using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS); or
(2) $375 per international class if filed on paper
These fees will be charged not only when a new application is filed, but also when payments are made to add classes to an existing application. If such payments are submitted with a TEAS response, the fee will be $325 per class, and if such payments are made with a paper response, the fee will be $375 per class.
The new fee requirements will apply to any fees filed on or after January 31, 2005.
